I am psychodynamically trained and believe psychodynamic work offers a channel to deep and meaningful change.
Hello and Welcome. If you’re scanning the Psychology Today provider pages, you likely are experiencing an issue which is impacting your life in a meaningful way. You might be asking yourself questions like “Why do I struggle to remain calm?”, “What makes my relationships so challenging?”, or “Why do I have trouble instituting change?”. I think that people have a need to be known, most importantly by themselves. I believe therapy is a collaborative and relational process. I work with clients to unearth the answers to these questions, so they can find true healing and reconnect with their own well-being.

I use an integrative approach that includes cognitive behavioral, interpersonal, and psychodynamic therapies.
While people tend to not give themselves as much credit for how they manage life stressors, it is important to recognize that support is helpful in effectively overcoming challenges. Therapy serves as a tool to address these issues without feeling alone and judged. Learning ways to cope and process whatever life throws our way can lead to a reduction in distress and increased feelings of empowerment, setting us up for improvements in mood and relationship quality.

I provide psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis for adults and adolescents who suffer from a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, and eating disorders.
Searching for a therapist takes courage. Finding the right fit takes often some work and a bit of luck. However, when the relationship between the patient and therapist goes well, the results can be life-changing. Therapy can empower people to see themselves and others more clearly. This can lead to deepened relationships, symptom relief, and a more hopeful outlook.

Psychodynamic Therapists

Is psychodynamic therapy evidence-based?

Studies have found psychodynamic therapy to be effective in treating conditions like social anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, some personality disorders, and depression; indeed, some studies have found it to be just as effective as CBT or medication. What’s more, several studies have found that the benefits of psychodynamic therapy tend to endure—even grow—long after treatment has ended.

How long does psychodynamic therapy last?

Unlike CBT and other more structured forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy tends to be open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to three times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. However, brief psychodynamic therapy is available, which tends to be more goal-oriented and typically unfolds over 16 to 30 sessions.

Does psychodynamic therapy work?

Research finds that psychodynamic therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The modality may also offer a range of benefits that are harder to measure but just as valuable—such as increased self-worth or healthier relationships. While no therapy type will work for everyone, research and anecdotal evidence suggest that psychodynamic therapy can be highly effective.

What are the limitations of psychodynamic therapy?

Some meta-analyses have concluded that there is little evidence to suggest that psychodynamic therapy can effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as PTSD, OCD, or psychosis, though it is sometimes used to do so. More broadly, the open-ended, free-association structure of psychodynamic therapy may be frustrating for clients who prefer a more structured, time-limited, or goal-oriented approach.
